I like it for using it my woodworking shop, the only problem is that the leading edge starts about 1/4 inch from the end. I ground both ends down so that the rule starts at 0, instead of .25 If it started...[more]

Very pleased so far...hasn't had a whole lot of use yet, though. Seems to be a very sturdy, very accurate ruler and I like that is has the same inch measurements on both sides. Would recommend.

For what I need it for (a metal straight-edge for cutting proofs and mock-ups), this ruler is doing the job nicely. Not too heavy and guides the blade very well.

Clearly marked in picas and half-picas, essential for those who design in picas. Heavy enough to be durable, yet flexible. Typical Gaebel high quality.
Arrived promptly; reasonable price.

This is a very functional product, although the detail good be better for picas. Instead of just 1/2 picas, there could be 1/4 picas also. The metal could be heavier, but all in all it works just fine.
